Made in Japan most likely at the Tokai factory (Thus, the Tokai Headstock) Ash Body, Maple neck, Grover tuners, 3 single coils. Very high quality guitars but plastic nuts which I replace.
Sound

What can I say about the tone? Awesome! I replaced the bridge pickup with a hot rails dumped the middle pickup and put in a 3 way toggle from a les paul. I also removed the tone knobs so it's a van halen machine all the way! I don't like a finished neck so I sanded it down. I also don't like brand names so I sanded the headstock back to natural and called it good.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The action is awesome! I am a child of the 80's so it works well for me.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
Very reliable I haven't had a problem with it. The finish was a bit scratched up so I wet sanded the body with 1500 grit wetsand paper and then used 3M rubbing compound and then finishing compound to bring back the shine. It looks like a new axe!
